    YES! Now that's what I'm talking about, and magnified would be nice as well . Actually just a couple basic pics of the item for sale, without having to play e-mail tag. Maybe i'm being too demanding, but I don't think so.

Am I also the only one who is bothered by these idiots who make replies apparently without reading the post? ( for example when someone list an item they found for sale elsewhere as a courtesy to other members and they specifically say this is not their item and to contact the actual seller and some idiot still asks them questions or makes a trade offer)... Oh, and speaking of trade offers, how about the people who want to offer to trade their slightly worn Lorcin 380 straight up for your most recent AR build... usually end their post with "if you are interested"... lol.... sorry... I realize these things are common to most forums and not specifically this one... most of the time I find other people's stupidity just outright amusing but occasionally it can be annoying.... is it just me?
    I award you 10 irony points for your atrocious grammar, in particular the overuse and incorrect usage of the ellipsis, but I take 10 away as your post wasn't at all difficult to understand. It's a good start, but I'm going to have to ask you to try harder to stick with your theme in the future.

    Part of the problem is the colloquialism of the texting language that innudates everything that people do these days. When people cannot string together coherrent thoughts, there is a major problem in communication.

    Yes, call them on that in their posts - it is required by site rules when asking for a FTF sale. I always include the specific rule's they've violated when I call them on it - I cut-and-paste it straight out of the posted rules.

    Now, as for the OP:
    I'm not too particularly bothered by the bad spelling/grammer, and I'm no one to complain about mistyped words either.
    Just small stuff that I can work around.

    I often mis-spell words and use horrendous grammar as well. Sometimes I am either typing too fast or just do not have the time to sit down and formulate a proper sentence using the correct semantics, etc. However, I do think that all of my posts are easily understandable. The things that get me are: no paragraphs for a book posting, run on sentences, and the like. I get bothered more by format/structure than by spelling and grammar, though the latter does tick me off sometimes.
